The Triangle

Chapter 82 ? Tea

MOM:
"Wait—was it Clay?"

My eyes widened.

NICOLE:
"Or your future husband? Nick." She grinned.

I blinked slowly at my family, exchanging glances at all of them.

Y/N:
"You've all been on teams this whole time haven't you." I lowered my shoulders.

MOM:
"Whaaaat? I—I mean...yeah pretty much." She shrugged.

I scoffed.

Y/N:
"Well then you'll be happy to know that...I like them and they like me." I admitted.

Their jaws dropped again.

After explaining everything to them, it left them speechless for a minute until my mom spoke up.

MOM:
"Wait, if it wasn't them in your room, who were you making out with??"

Y/N:
"Wilbur..." I mumbled nervously.

DAD:
"Oh hell no—give me his address—" He stood up and began sliding off his belt.

Y/N:
"Dad—" I sighed, "It was a mutual thing that we both wanted to do."

NICOLE:
"Did you fuck?"

MOM:
"Nicole...! Did you?" She shot her head to me.

I rolled my eyes.

Y/N:
"No." I glared at them slightly.

DAD:
"How could you possibly want to kiss that scumbag? He's been nothing but a douchebag to you all these years."

Y/N:
"Well...he's been in love with me this whole time and he told me his side of the story. He's had a hard life..."

DAD:
"Monkey I'm gonna say this to you in the nicest way possible. Us guys? We suck. Teenage boys always tell a sob story to trick the girl into staying. You need to choose the man who is worthy enough to have you."

MOM:
"I agree." She raised her eyebrows.

DAD:
"Who always teased you as a kid? Who convinced you that you were adopted when you weren't? Who told you Santa wasn't real and completely ruined the Christmas tradition? Who's spread rumors about you your whole life? Who made fun of you for being a virgin? And who's a master manipulator? Wilbur fucking Soot. Do not let that scumbag fool you. You'd be better off in anyone else's hands." He shook his head.

I swallowed hard while staring at the carpet.

MOM:
"Ask yourself this sweetie," She held my hand, "Do you honestly see a future with Wilbur?"

I clenched my jaw with a frown.

Y/N:
"I don't know...I don't know him well enough to know..."

NICOLE:
"Then figure it out. Get to know who he is now and then make your decision. You can't make a choice without knowing all the facts." She shrugged.

I nodded slowly, not meeting their gazes.

MOM:
"C'mon, turn that frown upside down." She sadly smiled, "We just want you to be well taken care of."

Y/N:
"I know." I met their eyes, "I know...I'll make the choice of who my heart chooses..."

MOM:
"Good...now, let's go pick out what you're gonna wear tonight for Team George." She squealed happily while dragging me upstairs by the hand.

I looked over my shoulder and met eyes with my dad. He was shaking his head then glanced at the floor as my mom and I went upstairs.

-NICOLE's POV-
My dad sighed while staring at the floor while clenching his jaw.

NICOLE:
"It's her choice you know."

DAD:
"I know...but you haven't seen how she's been when Wilbur's bugged her. She always came home crying because of him and I always had to hug her and reassure her. Wilbur doesn't deserve her. It doesn't matter if he's had a hard life. Y/N deserves to be treated like a princess the first time around." He glared.

NICOLE:
"That's understandable but Y/N's...well nevermind she can be naive at times but...she'll make the right choice. And when she does, we need to accept her choice and support her. All that matters is that she's happy, even if she wants someone who doesn't make us happy."

He nodded slowly while concentrating on the carpet.

DAD:
"You're right...but that douchebag is gonna pay if he hurts her." He raised his eyebrows, "He's gonna have to pass my tests too."

My dad grinned.

NICOLE:
"What kind of tests?"

DAD:
"Husband material tests. If he opens the door for her, if he comforts her when she's down, etc. If he passes my tests, then I'll support it." He smiled in pride.

NICOLE:
"I am so glad I'm single." I shook my head.

-Y/N's POV-
My mom and I went to my room. She flipped through my clothes until she found a blue dress with daisies on it.

MOM:
"What do you think of this?" She smiled while holding it up.

Y/N:
"Pretty." I said flatly.

MOM:
"What's wrong?"

Y/N:
"Just nervous." I sighed.

MOM:
"Oh, about what?" She asked while hanging the dress back up.

Her full attention focused on me as she crossed her arms and tilted her head.

Y/N:
"Well...about tonight, about George, about everything...do you think I'm doing the right thing?"

MOM:
"The right thing?" Her eyebrows squished together.

Y/N:
"Do you think it was right for me to confess my feelings for them...?"

MOM:
"Of course it was. It put those poor boys out of their misery. They've been in love with you their whole lives." She chuckled.

Y/N:
"Yeah but...things won't be the same way once I pick someone...they're always gonna have in the back of their head that they weren't good enough..."

My mom frowned then immediately engulfed me in a tight hug. She didn't let go until I did.

MOM:
"Sweetie, as much as I love those boys...that's their problem not yours. Yes, it'll be hard for them but...if they truly love you, they'd want you to be happy, even if it wasn't with them."

My eyes fell to the carpet.

MOM:
"All these years they believed that they had a chance with their dream girl. That's why their crushes never faded away because they had hope. Once you choose someone, they'll know for good that it's never gonna happen and then they can move on." She moved the hair off of my shoulders, "They'll be okay and so will you."

I sadly smiled at her with a nod.

MOM:
"I want you to have fun tonight and always remember that I was on Team George."

I huffed out a bigger smile then she hugged me again. After a few moments, we split apart.

MOM:
"Now, blue dress with daisies or another one?"

Y/N:
"Another one."

MOM:
"Boo." She fake pouted while smiling, making me laugh.
